The upcoming edition of the International Tourism Fair, FITUR 2019, will present the Dominican Republic as a partner country, a destination that has continued to grow in recent years and which is currently a tourism leader in the Caribbean, with 6,2 million international tourists arriving in 2017, according to the Dominican Republic Central Bank.

The scale of business that FITUR achieves as one of the meetings with the greatest impact in the world tourism industry, which annually brings together more than 200,000 professionals and more than 10.000 companies from 165 countries, together with its ability to detect trends and business models, has inspired IFEMA, through the Madrid International Tourism Fair, to set up the FITURNEXT Observatory.

The upcoming staging of FITUR 2018, which is organised by IFEMA and set to take place on January 17 – 21, 2018, at Feria de Madrid, is to once again become the major international benchmark event of the tourism industry.

The first edition of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Weekend Ibiza runway will take place on July 08 at Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, set to feature Spanish designers and firms such as Alvarno, Jorge Vázquez, Teresa Helbig, Andrés Sardá and Desigual.
